I have been following the forum for a couple months now. thanks to A2H, Gman, and other who respond to worried well questions. My question to u is i went for a standard elisa test at my ASO here in CT after a possible exposure with a call girl in Atlantic City (i know stupid stupid!!) and it came out negative. Can i be comfortable with this result if I tested at 20 weeks post exposure? I will promise to use condoms from now on!! I want to feel ok with this but my problem is i am sweating constantly throughout the day and the weather here hasnt been exactly "warm." Its been about 50 degrees or raining off and on....... At my ASO i was told this could be a symptom of seroconversion but since i tested negative beyond the 3 month guideline i should have nothing to worry about and if i feel uncomfortable to come back and test at the 6 month mark to make sure..... i really don't get it... why not test again now that I have these symptoms?

Well you can listen to us and we can tell you that you are -ve at 20 weeks. But if in your mind tells you otherwise, go and test at 6 months. It's your life, do what you feel will get your fear to go away.. Symptoms do not define hiv. Have you talked with your doctor about your sweating?

Anon, i am by no means an authority and am having similar symptoms like U, however i am having abdomen pain as well.. If U find out anything please do let me know..I'f u regsiter maybe I can keep U posted on my situation... let's work together on this one!!! Hope we both make it through this one!!
